Auto Highbeam issues

[feanor]

Just bought a 2013 SHO and the auto highbeam feature works about 20% of the time. I had a 2010 SHO for about 110k miles so I know what to expect. Anyone else run into this issue?

I notice something similar on my 2013, compared to my old 2010. It seems like they made the feature a little less sensitive on the 13 over the 10-12.

Same happens here. Sometimes it works as soon as I start driving and other times it comes on randomly later.

Not sure if you've tried this yet or not but mine only turns on if I'm going faster than 30mph.

I have a 13 and I think it is way too sensitive. I shut mine off. It dims on reflection from road signs and that. Can't stand it.

There is a way to adjust the sensitivity but I can't remember how.

From pg 64 in the 2010 SHO OM:

Setting auto high beam sensitivity
The automatic high beam system has two sensitivity settings. The default
setting is near. If you would like the high beams to turn off when traffic
is further away, the sensitivity setting can be changed to far. The
procedure is as follows:
Preconditions:
• Vehicle is at a stop.
• Ignition is in the on position.
• The headlamp control is in the position.
• High-beams are off.
Programming Sequence:
1. Turn the headlamp control from (On) to (autolamp) three times within two seconds, ending in (On).
2. Cycle flash-to-pass three times using the multi-function lever.
3. The sensitivity setting has been changed.
Note: The programming sequence will end if either of the following occur:
• The vehicle speed is not zero.
• The battery voltage is out of normal range.
